Antisemites

Nietzsche encourages you to become Kenshiro
Ran down encourages you to become Elon Musk
Which would you honestly rather be?

>>19781187
I'd rather be Zuckerberg

>>19781187
Only one of those guys is real... objectively

>>19781178
lmao

because she's called a philosopher, but clearly had never touched an actual philosophical book. Her "objectivist epistemology" is more psychological than epistemological (and even then it's shitty psychology), and from all the stories about her that weren't just "omg we were such good friends in the commune hahahahaha" are all about her being a massive bigot incapable of having a decent conversation with someone. plus, her literary chops were pretty mid

>Is it misogyny
i had a white liberal feminist professor try to paint me as a misogynist without even listening to my criticism of her

>>19781226
You could've just said feminist.

>>19781222
What about her ethics?

because: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ayn_Rand

>but rational wiki is a retarded website full of soi!

i know, but bear with me long enough to read this article and have a lel since nobody else will properly BTFO rand

>>19781226
Well? Tell the story

Rand mirrored back at the leftist the behavior he worked all his life so hard to hide from himself. They can never forgive this.
Rand has struck so many chords they will seethe for all eternity, as they have been seething for the past 70 years without fail.

You can dislike someones writing or their ideas or their delivery and not go full retard everytime their name pops up. You can simply say “I didnt like this book“ and move on, you can be indifferent to things you didnt love or like, but here its ain't thusly. Whenever people choose anger and hate instead of indifference, there is pain underneath. The truth in her pages hurt them deeply, right to their very core. Look at what lengths they will go to discredit her. Everytime. Like clockwork. Because they must.

>her hatred of communism is justified because it nearly killed her
Looks like my hatred of communism isn't justified after all. Also, serfdom is fine.

>>19781459
There is very much something very weird about their hatred of her considering she's so irrelevant. But what chords did she strike specifically?

>>19781480
Leftists must dehumanize people before they can properly exploit and enslave them. All rand ever did was trying to help people get their power back.

Parasites don't like pest control :D

She is relevant as an inspiration to countless people, no matter what you think of her writing. She created a thousand Alan Greenspans and Donald Trump type Howard Roark/Hank Rearden cheap knockoffs.
I think allot of people read atlas shrugged when young and become anti collectivist deep inside, even though they grow out of her ideas eventually. Objectivism is kind of culty and I wouldn't defend all her ideas, but whenever I see Chuck shumer or Adam schiff on tv I think of toohey and am inoculated to there way of thought.

>>19781178
This, also incels

>>19781174
because she did nothing more than mass market egoism to adhd retards. almost as bad as people touting harry potter as some revolutionary piece of fantasy.

>>19781174
Nietzsche is insightful, Alisa is retarded. Should've stayed in the Union. Simple as.

>>19781174
I am not listening to some woman, least of all an atheistic Jewish woman, trying to tell me what to think. Obviously communism is retarded and gay, but I don't need this putrid whore to tell me that. There are much better criticisms of communism anyway.

One of the awful things about this shitty board is the simplistic false dialectics and the assumptions that if you don't like this dumb bitch, for example, then you must be a socialist.
This board is so fucking retarded. You are no different from normalfags.
In fact, Ayn Randian dogshit is within the same materialist, Enlightenment paradigm as socialism so all of you can piss off.

>>19781174
I like Nietzsche but I haven't read Ayn Rand. I undertand her to be a market-worshipping kike and that there are better thinkers and writers who promote that stuff i.e Hayek, Friedman etc. I don't think Nietzsche is like that at all. I think that a society of petty investors, entrepreneurs and cultivators of "human capital" that these people uphold as the pinnacle of human existence is the very definition of Nietzsche's last man. Or maybe it's Rand who isn't like what I think she is?

>>19781174
Where do I start with Rand?
